Smells are the first thing I notice with any foodstuff that I purchase and I could not resist the purchase after smelling this tea. The aroma of the tea is sharp and fresh as spearmint gets. The smell clings to the back of your throat with a single whiff and gives the most delicate fragrance of citrus with the familiar and relaxing mint frost.
After heaping this into my teapot, the resulting drink was fantastic. The tea is very light with almost no bitter qualities to it with a 2-minute steeping time. The mint flavor was strong and defined in the tea, but was not similar to spearmint gum or some other overly sweet spearmint. That being said I am highly sensitive to a strong spearmint taste with a lot of sugar (making gum an unsettling adventure for me), this was not so. The mint in the tea was light enough that it did not upset my stomach in any way but instead soothed it.
This tea brought a smile to my face I was not expecting. The taste and smells are something I now look forward to in my evening routine before bed. I do not feel any effects of caffeine and this has put me in a state of tranquility that I do not commonly frequent.
